Misery: There is a pawn shop here

Chapter 27: Prince Deng of the Geography Department

The setting sun shone like blood, staining the dead branches in the wilderness like red copper. Ming Zhan walked slowly forward, dragging his longsword. The sound of the blade scraping through gravel was like the weeping of the underworld.

This body is a pawn, a ten-day period, to avenge my family's bloody vengeance and make those people pay. Now, as the ten-day period nears its end, his body remains unchanged, seemingly untouched, yet Ming Zhan's mind clearly counts the remaining hours. The bloodstains that splattered on his clothes when he killed Zhang Maojun have long since solidified. Knowing his time is running out, he has been tirelessly searching the martial arts world for the whereabouts of the other sworn brothers of the Eastern Tripod.

However, Zhang Maojun didn't reveal any information about his sworn brother. The martial arts world was vast, and he had no connections, so finding intelligence was no easy task. He had considered turning to the pawnshop again, but Li Xuanxiao didn't respond.

Ming Zhan knew this in his heart, as he couldn't afford to pay any more to the pawnshop. As the ten days wore on, Ming Zhan's heart gradually calmed. Even if he couldn't kill the others, the culprit, Dongfang Dingli, had been brought to justice, and he had done justice to the over three hundred members of the Ming family. In the short time that lay ahead, he only needed to wait for that moment.

However, the world is always full of twists and turns. Some people and some things will suddenly appear in front of you when you no longer have any expectations.

Just like this moment——

A north wind blew, carrying the distinctively sweet, fishy aroma of paper money. Ming Zhan, who was advancing, suddenly stopped, his sword pointed diagonally at the withered trees in the southwest. Two dark green lanterns drifted from the sky. As the gloomy wind blew, Feiying and Youquan, two puppets dressed as the Black and White Impermanence, slowly emerged, their steps mimicking the underworld, followed by a magnificent sedan chair. The lingering sunlight of the sun pierced the clouds, illuminating the gilded talismans on the puppets' faces with a blood-red hue.

"Who is coming!"

Faced with the murderous aura that was visible but not hidden, Ming Zhan was alert and focused, pointing the tip of his sword at the person in front of him, but he heard the old man's majestic words coming from the sedan chair.

"I killed my third and fifth brothers, and you've been searching for me for a long time. Now you're asking who I am. Isn't that ridiculous?"

"You are the sworn brother of Dongfang Dingli and the blue-clothed swordsman." Ming Zhan came back to his senses immediately, swept away the deathly aura, and a murderous aura filled his body.

"Oh, no need to waste words. Tell me everything about that pawnshop, and you'll have your body intact, otherwise..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a golden monkey boy in the distance flipping over and leaping into the battle circle. He opened the scroll in his hand and said loudly: "The sky and the earth are dark yellow, the myriad energies are the origin of the sect. I have transcended the myriad calamities and cultivated to prove my supernatural powers. The prince is on tour, and those who stand in the way will be punished by heaven. Now, in the Saha world, in the southern part of the state, the famous family named Dongfang Dingli and Zhang Maojun have violated the prince's sacred power and are hereby sentenced. The golden body will seal the body, and the mercury will eat away the flesh."

"Give away gold and silver?"

Seeing the golden monkey boy proclaiming the decree, Ming Zhan finally realized the identity of the person who came. It turned out to be Prince Deng of Gold and Silver, who had destroyed the Ten Chiefs of the Northwest and was famous in the northern martial arts world. He had indeed never expected that Dongfang Dingli and Prince Deng were from the same force, but now, all this was no longer important.

With the foundation and sword skills in hand, even Prince Deng, with his reputation and confidence, is not without the ability to fight.

"If you want to know everything about the pawnshop, you'll have to trade your life for it! Master Swordsmanship: Clearing the Clouds and Revealing the Sun!"

"You are so stubborn that I will today seal you with gold and silver, and make your golden statue kneel before the spirits of my two brothers and confess its sins forever!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ming Zhan's sword energy shot out sharply, piercing through Deng Jiuwu's car. However, the two puppets, Feiying and Youquan, instantly moved away from each other, and the golden monkey boy also turned into smoke and disappeared in an instant. Ming Zhan cut Deng Jiuwu's sedan chair into two pieces with one sword, but there was nothing inside.

"What?" There was a moment of surprise, and the sedan chair was empty. The golden and silver palms in the distance had already caught the opportunity at this moment and instantly came to the battle. Ming Zhan was stunned and had not reacted yet. He swung his sword to attack again, but it was difficult to resist it completely. The golden and silver palms' power eroded his body, and half of Ming Zhan's body began to turn into gold.

"Ah!" Subconsciously, Mingzhan mobilized his true energy to try to dispel this force, but unexpectedly, the golden and silver palm power became even more active under the stimulation of this force, constantly devouring the true energy in Mingzhan's body, further intensifying Mingzhan's golden transformation.

"I still say the same thing. Tell me everything about the pawnshop, and you'll have your body intact."

At this time, the golden monkey boy jumped into the battle circle again, Feiying and Youquan reappeared out of thin air, and a sedan chair descended from the sky. It was still Deng Jiuwu's voice that came out from the sedan chair.

"Ha, you think too much!" Ming Zhan said disdainfully, ignoring that his right half of the body had turned into a golden body, he took a deep breath and leaped to attack Deng Jiuwu again. However, at this moment, the sound of a dragon's roar sounded, and the killing move behind him came again. He saw a man in a purple robe surrounded by dragon energy, overlapping waves of demonic energy, and a strong devil's move. Ming Zhan responded with a sword. The sword energy and palm power collided in the air, and the yin and yang were reversed in an instant. The world was in chaos overnight, and the air waves caused by the boundless destructive force shook the three of them away.

"There's a pawnshop that's truly remarkable. Even a nobody like you can become a top-tier martial arts expert after a transaction. I'm just curious, what did you pawn to acquire this level of cultivation?"

Amidst the echoes of a voice that was neither male nor female and difficult to distinguish between male and female, a figure in purple robes descended from the sky, cutting off the famous battle's way back. A strong wind blew the hair covering his face under the hood, revealing a horrible face under the white hair. It was none other than the astrological wizard who had swallowed the dragon energy of Beiyu, and was also the leader of the five people of Prajna Sea - Geography Secretary!

Faced with the encirclement of the two greatest heroes of the time, Ming Zhan's face, with only half left, remained indifferent and showed no fear at all.

"Heh, although I don't know how you knew about the pawnshop, don't worry. That person likes people like you the most. Just wait, and he will naturally come to you to trade!"

"Oh? Really?" The Geography Secretary said with his hands behind his back. "Where is that pawnshop?"

"It?" Ming Zhan sneered, "Although I don't know your purpose, he will appear when you need him."

"Hmm? Then what exactly did you pay?" asked the Geography Department again.

"This is the price you can't pay!" Ming Zhan raised his sword, ignoring the aggravation of his golden body, and took a deep breath before resuming his sword move.

Deng Jiuwu and the Geography Department naturally would not believe what Mingzhan said. As a tycoon, the ability displayed by a pawnshop was beyond their reach. Although they only knew about Mingzhan's ability at the moment, it was too shocking that a single transaction could turn an unknown person into a top expert in the martial arts world.

Unless they actually have access to the pawnshop, they will never believe what their enemy Ming Zhan says.

But since Mingzhan was unwilling to speak, they took him away. The two men thought they had plenty of ways to make Mingzhan speak.

Just as the two were preparing to take action and completely subdue Ming Zhan, a fierce demonic aura surged into the battle!
